What you did is that you changed the website basedir (the field labeled with "Website basedir" which is on the web tab) and not the backup directory (the field labeled "Backup directory" which is on the server tab). Change the webroot back to /var/www and then change the backup folder to e.g. /home/backup.

Absoluetly not. I only change the backup folder exactly where you said... you should check your script maybe

I just tested it on my server. Changing the backup folder does not change the apps vhost but changing the website basedir instead of the backup directory has exactly the effect that you described. So on your server, the website basdir setting has been changed to /home/backup and not the backup directory.

So to fix your setup, follow the instructions that I posted above and set the website bsedir back to /var/www and then change the backup directory to /home/backup.

I confirm that it dont exist on my systems (debian) and I verified in the sources that there is no connection between these two variables in the sourcecode. If noone else is able to confirm this then it is a configuration problem on your system only.

On http://www.howtoforge.com/download-the-ispconfig-3-manual , I explained that ISPConfig 3 will continue to be free. And I also explained why it's necessary to charge for the manual - we hope that this will allow us to employ a full-time developer for ISPConfig from which you and all other users will benefit because development will be much faster, new features can be implemented faster, we can provide better and faster support, etc. Right now, there are two main developers, Till and me, and we invest lots of time each day in answering emails, phone calls, forum posts, writing tutorials, doing administrative things, etc., before we even find time to develop ISPConfig - if there's any time left at all, and all this support is free for our users. And besides all these activities, I managed to write the manual which took me nearly six months, and now we give it away for almost nothing. I don't understand why it is so hard to understand for some parts of the Open-Source community that we have to earn money to pay bills. Would you want to work for us full-time without being paid?
5 EUR per manual will not make us rich, if that is your concern...

Can't be more agree with Falko about the manual, you spend you effort and it's worth
For my case, I keep the backup folder in default setting (/var/backup) which is my separate drive and I can see the web folders like web1, web3, ... web20 day later. However, they are all empty folders !?. Anyone here ever have the same problem? I use CentOS 5.5 i386.
